WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) released the following statement after voting in support of H. Con. Res. 113. This legislation passed the House by a vote of 216-214.  

"This budget resolution is the first step in the reconciliation process," said Rep. Newhouse. 

Newhouse continued, "Passage of this framework is necessary to ensure we can work to replenish critical warfighting munitions, support producers facing rising costs, and strengthen the security of our elections. I look forward to working with my colleagues over the next few months to address these priorities and deliver for the American people."
